I spread the word, so that it seemed to be a leak from the Police Department, that it was Larry who had squealed on Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt. Did his old pals start out to get Larry? Well, now, did they! If I do say it myself, that was smooth work!" "It was wonderful!" agreed Maggie. "And there's still more, Maggie!
She now hoped almost against hope that Hannigan would not burst forth and ruin what was yet to come. Since that door unluckily had to be unlocked, her one chance was given her by the presence of Larry. Perhaps Larry could perceive the larger things she was striving for, and in some way restrain Hannigan. These thoughts were but an instant in passing through her brain.
Trescott's voice began to bubble. "Up up up " She pointed at the second-story windows. Hannigan was already shouting: "Don't go in that way! You can't go in that way!" Trescott ran around the corner of the house and disappeared from them. He knew from the view he had taken of the main hall that it would be impossible to ascend from there.
The news had been telegraphed by a twist of the wrist of a neighbor who had gone to the fire-box at the corner, and the time when Hannigan and his charge struggled out of the house was the time when the whistle roared its hoarse night call, smiting the crowd in the park, causing the leader of the band, who was about to order the first triumphal clang of a military march, to let his hand drop slowly to his knees.
You've given me no value received for me keeping my men off of you. You haven't turned up a single thing." "Come, now, Chief you're forgetting about Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt." "Chicken feed! They're out on bail, and when their cases come up, they'll beat them!
And the indirect way he had tipped off the police about Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt and had then made his pals think Larry had squealed that was sure playing the game, too! Jack and Red would get off easy there was nothing on them; but little old Barney Palmer had certainly used his bean in the way he had set the machinery of the police and the under-world in motion against Larry!
There are some things I've learned never mind how that I wanted to slip you for your own good." "Go to it, Casey." "First, I've got a hunch that it was Barney Palmer who tipped off the police about Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt, and then spread it among all the crooks that you were the stool and squealer." "Yes, I'd guessed that much."
They called for volunteers to man the boats, as it was dangerous work. We did not know whether the Spanish sailors on shore would show fight or not. There is a cadet on board named Hannigan, from Chicago, who will always show his boat's crew any fun there is going on. Arling Hanson and I determined to get in his boat, and we did.
While he spoke a figure had moved from Larry's closet with the silence of a swift shadow. It's thin hand gripped Barney's shoulder. "I guess I've got something on you!" it said. Barney whirled. "Red Hannigan!" he gasped. "Yes, Red Hannigan! you stool you squealer!" said Red Hannigan. "I heard you brag about being Barlow's stool, and I heard everything else you bragged about to Joe Ellison's girl.
Stock-selling game; going to unload the whole thing on one sucker, and we've got the sucker picked out. Besides you and Barney and me, there's Red Hannigan and Jack Rosenfeldt in it a classy bunch all right. And we think that for the woman end we'll take in Mae Gorham. She's clever and innocent-eyed " "But I thought you were going to take me in!" protested Maggie.
